A person incurs 5% loss by selling a watch for Rs 1140 . At what price should the watch be sold to earn 5% profit?

• 1260
  cp=1200
  5% of 1200=60
  so, reqd sp=1260

• We have to find sp with 5% profit. For this we need cp. which came from first part of the questio
  cp=sp*100/100-loss
  =1140*100/95=1200
  now we know that watch had cost of 1200 for 5% profit we will sell it
  sp=(cp*100+profit)/100
  =1200*105/100=1260.

• ans : 57
  because 5% of 1140 = 57

• Let the new S.P. be x, then.
  (100 - loss%):(1st S.P.) = (100 + gain%):(2nd S.P.)
  
  =>(951140=105x)=>x=1260

• Let the new S.P. be x, then.
  (100 - loss%):(1st S.P.) = (100 + gain%):(2nd S.P.)
  95/1140 = 105/x
  x=1260
